I am trying to get someone else's thesis template to run, but the EBGaramond font is not working. I also have never used .cls files in latex, so I'm not sure if I'm missing something. In the .cls file, the line causing problems is:
\newfontfamily{\smallcaps}[RawFeature={+c2sc,+scmp}]{EB Garamond}
and the error is: Package fontspec Error: the font ''EB Garamond'' cannot be found
I have tried replacing "EB Garamond" with "ebgaramond" and "EBGaramond".
I followed these directions to make sure the font was installed. To check that it was working, I tried using the command \usepackage{ebgaramond}
in another document, which worked fine, so there seems to be something wrong about the specific line above. Also, I'm not sure if this is relevant, but the previous user of this template was exclusively using Overleaf.

xelatex will not find fonts in the tex-live tree by name unless you have configured fontconfig to find them, so you could try replacing the internal font name
EB Garamond
by the file nameEBGaramond-Regular.otf
so the file can be found by kpathsearch rather than fontconfig (luatex should work the same way with either form).To configure fontconfig you need a file such as
"somewhere" (Mine is called
local.conf
in/etc/fonts
but the details on a Mac will be different). Then runfc-cache
to rebuild its font cache.See
